LADBROKES BLACKBOOK TROTTERS DISCRETIONARY HANDICAP 2280m

Track: GOOD      

SCRUFFY DOOLAN (4) put the writing on the wall when he led and stuck on for second last start at Albion Park, beaten 2.3 metres. Should be close to peak fitness now. Has winning claims in this suitable assignment. BANFF (6) has recorded a win and a placing in two attempts here and must be considered after he finished third at Albion Park a week ago. CALL ME TROUBLE (8) is worth including off a good second two starts back.
